In the American crime drama series Person of Interest, a machine predicts whether a person can be a victim or a perpetrator of a crime. Then it's up to a data scientist to find that person and prevent any violent acts. This may sound like science fiction but Thiruvananthapuram -based big data startup Senzit is trying to turn this into reality. Its digital recording solution captures and archives live events from crime scenes. It then mines hidden insights, patterns and unknown correlations from the vast amount of data that can be collated this way.
International Business Machines, the world's biggest computer-services provider, is taking a keen interest. Senzit is one among at least 100 startups in India that IBM is partnering as it looks to tap cutting-edge innovations in areas such as big data analytics and Internet of Things—devices communicating with each other intelligently.
Big Blue's Innovation Centre in Bangalore is partnering with 100 big data and Internet of Things startups across India. Experts said IBM started engaging with these startups five months back as these technologies are strategic for clients such as retailers Walmart, Tesco and banking and financial services firms Barclays and RBS.
IBM is also working with Mumbai based startup Algo Engines, which is combining big data analytics and Internet of Things to improve efficiency in wind turbines and solar plants.
